Keep that old heart going and other stuff

DH's dad isn't doing too well and he's being stubborn. DH's sis texted Wednesday night that the lung dr. again said his heart of much more immediate concern right now. That he probably needs a pacemaker and should get himself to ER pronto. Dr. said his heart is beating too slow, low blood pressure, light headedness, etc and his heart could just stop on him. FIL won't go.  SIL is beside herself, but mostly because she is going out of town this weekend (as well as her daughter) so there is no one to take care of MIL if something happens to FIL over the weekend. SIL also said she's cancelled enough plans due to them. Then she wanted to know if our DD could go spend the weekend and take care of MIL, if FIL had to go to the hospital. Sorry, her fiance's sister just died a little over a week ago (and she knows this) - she's got more than she can handle on her plate right now. Let alone she wouldn't know how to care for MIL. She can't lift her to go to the bathroom! My DD weighs like 100 pounds.

DH tried to convince his dad to go have it checked out at ER right away, but he says he has an appt with heart doctor on the 12th, so he's just going to wait until then. Okie dokie. Guess that's all anyone can do for him at this point. DH has kind of had enough with family this week anyway, LOL, especially after the surprise call from his younger brother. Who basically wanted to blame DH for all the family issues, yet, like I told DH, this brother had zero interest in having and maintaining a relationship with DH after he moved out of state 20 some years ago, so what difference does it make if DH wasn't talking to him anymore? My conclusion is that BIL wanted the non-relationship to be on HIS terms, rather than DH being the one who made the decision/choice to break it off.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong while SIL is out of town and FIL is good to go until he gets to his dr. appointment in a couple of weeks. I'm sorry, but we live almost 500 miles away and this is about the 4th weekend out of the last 6th that sis has had to go out of town for something. We can't run over there every weekend because she wants to go to someone's birthday party. And like DH says to me, it's all he can to just to take care of his own health issues.

I just did the stupidest M-Turk hit and supposedly earned $1. It was a 10 minute "job" to alternately hit the a and b keys on your keyboard, earn an extra .01 after getting 1000 points (each hit of a and b earned a point). I quickly did about 100 of these keystrokes and realized that I wasn't going to continue to do this for 10 minutes, LOL. So, I just stopped and let the timer run out. Answered the demog. questions at the end and supposedly will get paid $1. I can only imagine how aching my carpal tunnel wrist/hand would be if I had done that for 10 minutes.

I am on a mission to reclaim almost $20k for my company. We had made a rent/security deposit 8 years ago on our old office lease. At the beginning of this year that building got sold to another company. We moved out in March.  The new owners are saying they have no record from the old owners of our security deposit. We already shredded those checks since over 7 years old. I save all my emails and am super good at searching and finding old stuff, but can't for the life of me find any emails about it. We have also switched banks since then. I called our old bank and talked to a low on the totem pole person about the possibility of getting a copy of the check or statement from back then. Got a vague "No, I don't think we can go back that far". Rather than pushing it with him, I found out our bank contact from back them (from my old emails) still works there. She is higher up on the food chain, so I emailed her and sounds like she will be able to get us a copy, it will just take about 10 days. If someone wants to understand why they are still a low paid teller and not getting promoted, there's your answer right there. Back during this time we paid this to "the building", I was also doing the books for "the building" (until about 2013), so I still have lots of documents and emails related to this company saved on my computer. The building books also showed a rent/security deposit received on their balance sheet. One of our company owners was half owner of the building we rented from, so he is going to go back through the financial reports he would have been given and find record that our company was listed as a deposit received on their balance sheet, plus hopefully we'll also have a copy of the check soon. I'm not backing down on this one!

I think we are going to get our house listed in the next week or so. By the time we could get an offer we should have a good idea of how much closer to being able to move into the shop and our realtor says we can always negotiate the closing date. We had also hoped the shop would bascially be done by now so we could move a good majority of our shop and garage crap out there and it would look better to people coming to look. Well, we just aren't going to have that luxury. We'll move the old car out of the shop and DH's pick up out of the garage and that will give people room to walk in both and look around.
